Wax Play
Updated:Wax play is a sensual practice involving the controlled application of melted wax onto a partner's body for erotic stimulation. It's a form of temperature play and sensation play, often associated with BDSM activities. Participants use specially designed candles or low-temperature wax to create a range of sensations from gentle warmth to more intense heat.
Additional Information
Safety is paramount in wax play. Practitioners typically use candles made from soy, paraffin, or other materials that melt at lower temperatures to minimize the risk of burns. The wax can be dripped, poured, or painted onto the skin, creating various sensations and visual effects. Some enjoy the anticipation and slight pain, while others focus on the warmth and tactile experience.
It's crucial to establish consent, set boundaries, and have a safe word before engaging in wax play. Participants should also be aware of potential allergic reactions and avoid sensitive areas of the body.
